FECAL CALPROTECTIN AND CRP AS BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS IN PREDICTING INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE ACTIVITY IN PATIENTS WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS
2017
Journal of the Medical Research Institute
& Aims: The routinely used clinical activity indices alongside systemic markers of inflammation as white blood count (WBC) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), have low sensitivity and specificity in the discrimination between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These limitations emphasize the need for a sensitive and specific non-invasive marker of bowel inflammation. The aim of the study was to evaluate fecal calprotectin (FC) and C-reactive protein (CRP)
